The Board of Amory Square Inc announces that their
new website ArmorySquareInc.org will be premiering the beta version of the Ohio
River Scenic Byway Visitors Center kiosk at Marietta Ohio online. The kiosk includes directories about
local businesses, community nonprofits, restaurants, hotels, shops and much
more and connect them and their information to the internet. This service is provided at no cost and will
connect organizations and individual entrepreneurs of listed organizations in
Marietta and along the Ohio Scenic Byway to the world-wide-web. All that will be necessary to have the kiosk
in your establishment will be to have computer access to the internet and a
touch screen monitor. It will work on a
regular monitor with mouse also.
The kiosk online is for the purpose of providing
both residents and visitors alike with information about the Ohio River Scenic
Byway and our historic and fun town: (1)
the Federal Ohio River Byway of which there are three sections in Ohio and the
city of Marietta which is in the middle of the central section at the
confluence of the Ohio and Muskingum Rivers; (2) the historical significance of
Marietta in American history from our earthworks, the pioneers, the underground
railroad, early transportation and early architecture; (3) tourist information
on what to See & Do in Marietta, our museums, entertainment, attractions
and artist scene and activities available Outdoors, on the rivers, hiking and
cycling on City and Wayne National Park trails, sports and other competitive
activities, and organizations that serve these outdoor activities; and (4) Directories
of local hotels and places to stay, restaurants, shops, and places of worship,
and as well as other local businesses and not-for-profit organizations in
Marietta.
As a charitable institution Armory Square Inc took on the
project of the kiosk as an educational tool for the economic development of
citizens and businesses in the Marietta, Washington County and surrounding area and for the visitors and tourist who visit our area. Armory Square Inc is grateful for the funding of the kiosk from the Marietta Community Foundation and the Broughton’s Ice
Cream Social.
The Board would also like to thank everyone at
Clayman & Associates, a marketing firm here in Marietta. They have been great in bringing this kiosk
website to fruition. Jane Tumas-Serna
worked on the concept of a kiosk website and provided the content and most of
the photos. In addition there were
photos from the CVB and Clayman Associates and gracious help gathering
information from Nancy Lee. Thank you
all.
